This book was given to me by my brother over a year ago and it's been sitting in my library until a couple of days ago when I halfheartedly leafed through it and then became interested enough to start it.
The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy--What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America's Next Rendevous with Destiny
Maybe it was the word, "Prophecy," in the title that originally put me off. I'm not much on prophecies.
Rather than a prophecy, it's a theory--a hypothesis. It centers on historical human behavior and how certain cycles in society affect the young who then go on to react in predictable ways.
It's not a new book, and I'm not so far into it--about a quarter of the way--that I know what they'll assume could happen, but it's pretty interesting. And, to date, they've cited a lot of dates and events to back their hypothesis.
If they are correct, their timing might be slightly off and the fourth turning, a rather drastic societal cycle, could be starting right now or could have started with the pandemic, which could lead to something much bigger.
If anyone wonders if history repeats itself or if human behavior can be predicted to a degree, you just might find this one interesting.
